apg said:Quite right. In the past, whenever I have pulled someone out of the snow, I have handed them the rope/chain/strap/whatever and told them to attach it to some place secure. That puts the onus on them, not you, should things go awry.
Back in the early '70's, when we used to get snow around here, I came across a car well and truly stuffed into a roadside plow bank. It was some little shitbox of a car, Chevy Vega, I think, one of those vehicles that was actually built out of compressed rust. Handed the nylon hawser to the kid - who was very drunk and rather unstable on his feet - and told him to tie it someplace secure. The bumper turned out to be a rather poor choice, as is separated cleanly from the vehicle with the first gentle tug.
The kid was too drunk to utter a comprehensible word, as I quickly coiled up the line and headed off into the dark. Figured he - and everyone else on the road that night - was far safer with his ride immobilized.
Cheers

Yeah you are right about that. Same goes for what others have mentioned in having the owner of the car attach the recovery strap, winch, etc themselves to their own vehicle. Same applies to on the trail help as well. You can make a suggestion here and there if they are totally fd up, or like the kids i helped out of a ditch the other day who wanted to attach to the bumper only. Personally i would never accept compensation for help either, just stop to offer a hand if i can and if the situation "smells right".
I helped a 20 something with a lifted F350 with 35's. All his buds couldn't budge him or almost got themselves stuck in a huge mud lake. I just rolled over in D1 stock w/Cooper sst's. I asked if I could help and his friends just laughed. I told him how to strap on and place a board (as too lift the truck when pulled). I told him that I will do it in one good yank (his buds made some bets). In one yank I pulled that beast out and draged it to better ground. They all stood their with their mouths open.
He offered to pay me and I said the look on their faces was good enough. Two days latter I found a nice bottle of wine and a gift cert for $80.00 to a local resturant. I guess he was on the right side of that bet.

I got stuck in one of my 2wd chebbys and a guy with big ol 44 swampers tried to pull me out. Just dug 4 trenches when he gassed it. A stock (maybe slightly lifted) Nissan 4x4 with skinny tires hooked up and pulled me right out. Also that day saw an older jeep hooked up to a newer jeep who was hooked up to a ford ranger who was stuck way out in some sticky ass mud. I think it was where the gravel company had dumped some drilling mud-type stuff. I decided to leave before those guys hurt themselves.
One time in Humboldt County, I had to have my old Bronco with a dead transmission towed off the sand...
....by a Toyota Tacoma. It's amazing what good gears in a good little truck can do.

That stuff is just plain nasty...designed *not* to set up or solidify.... *Walked* into some of it by mistake one time appraising an old NIKE missile site. :ack:
Take it one further and always be the one who hooks up the strap to one's own stuck vehicle!!! I don't need no butthole hooking a strap to my drag link.

used to wash my coveralls at the laundrymat with a large dose of salt added to the water.
Sooo... the man who voted for the man who wants to give our hard earned money to unfortunates with no insurance or ambition, is willing to charge unfortunates for his help.
Now that's a class act.
